If you are of Korean decent (a Korean citizen or "gyopo", eg. Korean-American, Korean-Australian, etc.), you have the opportunity to help bring justice to the orphans of this nation. Currently, OEM is seeking to petition new law changes in South Korea that will help the orphans of this nation to be protected and given homes.

One of the law changes we are seeking is to allow birthmothers of 24 years or younger to not have to register the baby's name in the official Korean family registry. Forcing the names on the family registry has led to an increase of abortions and abandoned babies in South Korea.

We are also seeking new laws to help special needs children to be adopted earlier than the 5 month holding period for international adoptions, so that those with special needs can get intervention care as soon as possible. Along with this, we are seeking to remove the 7 day waiting period for newborns with special needs so that they can get immediate medical care as needed.

In short, we are seeking to bring justice for the orphans and most vulnerable in our nation.

Thanks the Lord God that you are doing a wonderful thing. The world will change only when we pray and take actions.

I suggest you consider to use change.org instead of the paper petitions. I also suggest that you should not get frustrated by the result. People do not jump into the wagon that easy. However, with the help of the Lord God that is possible only through lots of prayers, they will! May the Lord God bless!

Nick.

Dear community,

While I understand your meaning. I would urge you
to be very careful with this petition. As an orphan and korean adoptee myself I have experienced the devastating impact of not being registered as a baby and the long road of trying to reconnect with my korean heritage and the parents who gave me the gift of life.
The years of searching, disappointment, hope, bloodtests to finally find out that the woman who gave life to me committed suicide three years after I started searching for her and 4 years before I found her.

If only there was a law that would give me the right to know who gave me life. Maybe my korean mom would have still be alive today.

I pray for wisdom on this matter and that light will shine upon this matter.

May peace, harmony and righteousness be on your path.

best wishes,
Simone
